[.uk] Lamaze Play & Grow: Celeste

Editorial Review:
Want to give your new baby the sun and the moon? Celeste has a three-dimensional, yellow velour sun face with black embroidery on one side, and an embroidered satin moon face on the other. Trimmed in brightly colored, boldly patterned cotton prints, this is one visually stimulating toy. Dangling from Celeste's round body are four stretchy black-and-white polka dot ribbons with a different toy suspended at each end. There's a yellow star teether, a square of purple velour with an embroidered butterfly that rattles when shaken, a green velour circle with embroidered ladybug that squeaks when pressed, and a triangular plastic link. Celeste is easy to carry, too, thanks to a crinkling fabric handle. --Tami Horiuchi

Fun with the Sun:
My daughter is 3 months old and she adores Celeste. She talks to it, tries to grab the star. She has so much fun. This is just a wonderful toy. I bought this when she was a month old but now she has taken more of liking to it. This is a wonderfully made toy and very colorful. A definite plus.

Don't buy here:
I love amazon, and hate to down it....BUT, I found this same toy at a local party/toy store for only $13. Shop around a little before getting this. Other than that, I'm going to give this to my friend for her baby shower, but it looks very entertaining and is plushy-soft!

BABYS FAVORITE:
THIS WAS MY BABY GIRL'S FAVORITE TOY SINCE SHE WAS ABLE TO OBSERVE AND TOUCH THINGS.. AMONG ALL THE OTHERS I BOUGHT SHE WOULD ALWAYS PICK THIS ONE, SINCE IT HAS SO MANY COLORS AND FEATURES... I URGE ALL MOMS TO HAVE THIS TOY FOR THEIR BABY, IT IS VERY HANDY FOR WHENEVER THE BABY NEEDS ATTENTION. MA GRANATA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

perfect gift:
The perfect multi-sensory toy. I have given it to numerous friends as shower gifts and it always turns out to be a favorite of the baby's.

Strangulation Hazard:
This product was a hand me down from my sister and was used by my first two and now our third. They loves the toy, but just this evening when I went to check on the baby I found one of the strechy pulls wraped around his neck. I don't think he was suffocating (yet), although he was definitely struggling to get free. I had the toy hanging in the crib, which I think made things worse since it was essentially acting as a noose once it got wrapped around. I don't know if the newer version of the toy has sorter pulls, but in any case I will alert the CPSC tomorrow.
